Cupertino's 11th Anniversary Fall Bike Fest
Get ready for an exhilarating day of fun on two wheels at Cupertino's 11th Anniversary Fall Bike Fest on Saturday, September 28, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Bring your bike, helmet, water bottle, kids, and sense of adventure. Walk Bike Cupertino will make sure your helmet fits properly. Community Cycles of California will be conducting bike safety checks - they will not perform major repairs but will ensure your tires, chain, and brakes are working correctly. This service is in high demand, so come early if you’d like your bike checked. Your kids can learn safe ride handling skills in “Safe Moves City,” a mini bike safety course, and play bike games with the Black Mountain High School Mountain Bike Team before joining us for a group bike ride.
Bring a signed waiver to make check-in a breeze. Download you waiver at cupertino.gov/bikefest.
